The best way to understand this is to look at a skeleton. YOu can see how the head of the humerus anchors right into the clavicle. Press gently on the head of the humerus parallel to the floor and note the pressure the condial exerts in that direction, and the tendency for the clavicle to move, thus indicating it too is being pressed upon. As these bones are in contact, impact is transmitted from one to the other, thus creating a potential for fracture.
